Lots of humor and hipster comments here. Best for overall health, however, is to avoid processed food, like canned salmon and frozen lasagna. When you enter your supermarket, turn right and traverse the outer wall of the store, avoiding the inner aisles. You will find mostly lovely and fresh foods there.4

That's a lot maybe that's why when I eat on it tastes great.

Good call. In my supermarket, that's where the doughnuts and cookies are, as well as the bacon..
I'd pick the lasagna, anyway, just cause I'm not a fan of canned fish. Either that or just have the McDonald's french fries, if they're lower in sodium.9 -

No one food is healthy or unhealthy, it is the total diet that matters. Eat a wide range of veggies, proteins and healthy fats then you can fill in the rest of your calories with anything you like. A beer or ice-cream etc.
And sodium isn't a problem as long as you don't have any medical conditions that mean you should limit it.1 -

Agreed. Luckily, none of the answers seem particularly hipster!
Perhaps some respondents don't know what hipsters are. ;-)4 -
Eat what you like. Just make sure to account for the calories.

Such a vague response for someone so qualified. Judging by the OPs question, clearly it's early days for them on this road to great health and vitality. Yes calories are king, however nutritional value cannot be overlooked. OP or other newbies casually scrolling could easily misinterpret your comment.3 -

What about beans?
That is a good point. In most stores there are plenty of nutritious foods that are not on the outer wall like beans, oatmeal, frozen vegetables, frozen fish, flour and plenty of processed foods on the outer wall like sausage, lunchmeats, cheese, baked goods, chips, drinks. Not really a great guide to just say shop the outer wall.
Just log a food and see if it fits your goals. If you are trying to lower sodium buy low sodium versions or cook your own.0 -

I see booze, ice cream, butter....YAY
Hipster comments, huh? Telling people what not to eat isn't?
Avoid all processed foods...coconut oil is processed. Oils are processed. Greek yogurt, too.
No thanks. I'll eat what I like and not tell others to not eat certain foods because it's none of my business.

and canned fruits and vegetables.. sauces.. beans, grains, pastas... and everything else. like said above the outer wall of the store has the donuts and the fancy cheese section. yes please0 -
Not that this really matters. But the outer perimeter of the grocery stores here are
Fruit and veggies
Dairy
Bakery
Cleaning products
Cereals could be in isle 1 or 5 depending where you shop. Coffee ,tea, cookies, chocolate are usually in isle 1 or 2. No booze in Aussie supermarkets.0 -

Actually, now that I think of it, all of the sodas are on the outer perimeter of my grocery store as well. Forgot about the ice cream, too, and the Lean Cuisines...that's a win all the way around.1 -
